empty whippet box posted:"the attackers had to use knives and cars because they couldn't access guns! the solution is: more guns!" They couldn't get hold of real bomb vests either and had to wear fake ones. By Trump's logic we should be selling bomb vests in UK supermarkets so the good people can defend themselves. It's actually not all that hard to get guns in the UK as long as you have a clean record and can fake sporting interest.

I guess it's probably time for me to delete my Twitter account since they're obviously never going to enforce their own loving rules against hate speech provided it's Trump doing the speaking.

Like literally the reason the death toll is in the single digits is because of the UKs gun laws. In the US we're lucky if one of our monthly mass shootings doesn't go past 15 dead people

If the gun debate tweet was made by any other person, you would correctly read it as them praising the UK for gun laws that made it harder for them to get them and that we should have a debate in our country because of what could of happened over there if they did have guns. But no, he is just not able to word good or string a coherent sentence together and it's really hard to break your brain hard enough to read it in a way that doesn't come off like the above.

boner confessor posted:all of these places already vote democratic. there's no point to putting more liberals in liberal enclaves, you'd need them to move to rural areas to tip those districts which is even more wildly impractical than whatever nonsense you're pushing here All the those cities are suggested precisely because they are already Democratic. Tipping districts in red states is pointless because Republicans just move the district lines whenever they please, and they'll continue doing so until gerrymandering is banned. And few people want to move to a jobless rural area that haven't already anyway. But moving to another liberal city with a strong municipal government that is providing the kind of services that you'd expect in an urban area in a bluer state ... people are more open to the possibility. The idea is to solidify blue control of state governorships, the Senate and presidency by spreading out the liberal population so that they are represented fairly. And it takes advantage of existing economic trends, as opposed to doubling down on our old political plans that don't seem to be working very well. If you prefer the optics of "promoting the image of blue cities in purple states", then go with that. Kaal fucked around with this message at 19:02 on Jun 4, 2017 |

Get in a holding pattern and send a hat around the cabin." I also guess the rule of air traffic controllers being on shift for only a few hours before a mandatory hour break would probably go away too, because why pay employees to take breaks!

In case anyone is wondering, privatizing ATC and selling off roads and airports is not something Trump can actually do. He can suggest it to congress, to which they will reply by rolling their eyes and chuckling.

I've pointed this out before, but if handled competently there is no problem with the privatization of ATC. ATC and civil air services provided by a private not-for-profit corporation in Canada, and it works perfectly fine. Now, I have absolutely no confidence that Trump would handle such a thing in a sane way, I'm just pointing out that it is technically possible for it to be done in a non-destructive fashion.

Does he want people to hate him, that's the only reason I can think of for this Privatized ATC is actually pretty common. The UK, Germany, and Canada all use some degree of privatized air traffic control, whether through a government owned corporation, for profit corporation, or non profit corporation. In principle there are some advantages as far as the potential stability and amount of funding (i.e. dominated by relatively predictable use fees rather than the whims of legislature), but I am 100% confident in this administrations ability to spectacularly gently caress up anything and everything.

It'll be run for maximum shareholder profit with the absolute minimum of safety regulation, and cost more than the current system. It will, however, do a stellar job of routing taxpayer money to those the administration desires political donations from.

Idle Sunday thoughts while watching MTP rerun: I wonder if we're approaching a tipping point with regards to Islamic inspired terrorism sometimes. It's by this point global in scale with the Phillipines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, large swathes of Africa, and parts of Europe, India, and China all struggling to combat. Mass media raises the sense of threat and repeated occurrences with a common tie despite massive differences in context and goals I fear causes an increasingly difficult narrative to combat.
